I have never used money power – Jagadish Shettar

Congress leader and candidate from Hubballi-Dharwad-Central Jagadish Shettar on his defeat in the Karnataka assembly elections said that money power played a very important role. He said, “I have never used money power, never distributed money, but for the first time a BJP candidate did this. He distributed 500-1000 notes among the people and used money power fiercely.

Shettar further said, “I was saying earlier also that Congress will get absolute majority and the party will win 130 to 140 seats. In all the constituencies I have visited, almost all Congress candidates have won and in the constituencies I have not visited, most Lingayat candidates have also won. The Lingayat factor I raised that BJP is ignoring Lingayats and after coming to Congress I raised this issue which worked in about 20 to 25 percent assembly constituencies.”

Union Minister Prahlad Joshi on the results of the Karnataka assembly elections said that we will review all the reasons for our failures. We will try to fix everything by meeting very soon. BJP has won many times and lost many times. We will strengthen the party.
